    I saw it more as "*rocking back and forth with head in hands* this is not happening. this is not happening. this is not happening. this is not happening."

    So what the hell is the mace for?
    Silly coward, It's for hitting llamas on the head with.

    something like this?

  5. A wider alternative on Microsoft Acquires RAV Antivirus · · Score: 2, Informative

    another alternative is MailScanner with any of these AV programs
    Sophos, McAfee, F-Prot, Command, Kaspersky, Inoculate, Inoculan, Nod32, F-Secure, Panda, RAV, Antivir, ClamAV, Vscan.
    Installs basically as a drop in for exim, Postfix, sendmail and ZMailer.
    I've been using this with sendmail and the free for personal use version of F-Prot.
    it keeps the (possibly multiple) attached AV scanners updated and has internal support for SpamAssassin.

  6. eh? on "V" Sequel Coming to NBC · · Score: 1

    I thought they'd call it "W"...

  7. Re:ho-hum on Cheating Fruit (Slot) Machines · · Score: 1
    They've actually saying that the machine decides on win/loss in advance, rather then values
    look at this for an example
    With this RAM file, the machine is about to spin in a jackpot. If you attempt to gamble the jackpot for the "streak", you will lose. (The number reel will show a 10. If you gamble "Low" it'll spin a 12, if you gamble "High" it'll spin a 9.) Again, this is clearly NOT a gamble, since you have no chance of winning, hence it is fraudulent and illegal.

    they did that, look at the evidence

  9. Re:Hype & Buzzword on DoCoMo Will Launch Fuel-Cell Mobile Phones By 2005 · · Score: 1

    They never said that, I was assuming they'd use Hydrogen, though.
    and there's nothing stopping them from making a trick refill system, stating safety (which'll probably get broken quickly, like the printer refills, but still...)

    I'm hoping you don't usually pay your cell company for electricity.
    You do pay for both, but they'd prefer you pay them, right?

    which is probably what you would go in for, too :)

    Obviously the exhaust will go into the safest place possible, in this case the user's pants. :)

    Actually, Hotmail already does this, as can be clearly seen by this simple method:
    1. Register to Hotmail
    2. Wait one week

    Another benefit is that the consumer now needs to regulary pay for the fuel,
    thus creating a constant source of income for the companies

    Shouldn't that be arcticle? :)

  16. Re:Hidden Features on The Anti-Spam Research Group's Plan for Spam · · Score: 2, Informative

    There's no need to open holes in your relays,
    use authentication, either SMTP-AUTH or POP-before-SMTP(nicely transparent to most mail clients).
    anyway, is there a real reason not to use the corporate servers?

  17. Re:Smart Compilers on Famous Last Words: You can't decompile a C++ program · · Score: 1

    tail recursion only, IIRC.
    this has a nice list of optimizations.
    and this is just plain interesting. (go look at CiteSeer anyway, lots of interesting CS stuff)

    Just checked this, I'm using flash 6 r79 (if anyone cares).
    went to Homestar, works perfectly.
    I had a problem with the last beta where the animation would stop, though sound kept working,
    the only way to get rid of it would be to close the tab (which it did slowly).

  21. Re:So, can Earthlink respond? on MailBlocks sues Earthlink over Anti-Spam Tech · · Score: 1, Funny

    if Earthlink responds to this legal challenge, they'd be in violation of this Mailblocks patent? A nice merry-go-round.
    actually, I think this will only happen if they respond electronically.

    *gets sued*

  22. Re:Firebird vs. Opera on Opera Releases Version 7 For Linux · · Score: 1

    well, I'm running it on linux now,
    took it about 10 secs to load (I had 21 tabs open :),
    seems to be doing anti-aliasing out of the box (I may have set up qt for this sometime in the past).
    I think it's actually running faster then on windows, but YMMV.

    bah, that won't work. most servers (hopefully, mine at least) don't disclose whether or not a user actually exists.
    and it does nothing for joe jobs either.
